Puppet Government
'South Park' Creators' Left Jab at Jingoism May Backfire
By Hank Stuever
Washington Post Staff Writer
Friday, October 15, 2004; Page C01
Nothing escapes the cruel and frequently spot-on abuse of "South Park"
creators Trey Parker and Matt Stone: Jesus Christ has taken his lumps
right along with Saddam Hussein, rednecks, Satan, the PTA, innumerable
celebrities and unctuous politicians. And do not forget poor, silent
Kenny, who died over and over for "South Park's" perpetual sin of
crossing the line.
But as we all know, it takes more to cross that line now. It's going to
take puppets on strings -- puppets who abuse their superpowers, wreak
havoc on world affairs, splatter Janeane Garofalo's brains on the wall
and force subordinates into performing oral sex. Parker and Stone's new
offensive blast, "Team America: World Police," is a profane and
sometimes bitingly funny sociopolitical-musical-action-adventurical
story, told entirely with clumsy marionettes (and two kittens)
performing in a 1/3-scale, post-9/11 world.
The movie -- shot in the manner of those short-lived, 1960s-style
Saturday-morning puppet melodramas -- is a testament to the deeply
dissociative powers of American entertainment consumers: Whatever
anxieties and tragic losses have been caused by terrorists, it's all a
big joke here. It's a wonder that some people, in a fit of pop sobriety,
actually declared the death of cynicism and irony after the World Trade
Center attacks. If by now you're not ready to laugh off the state of the
world, then "Team America" will make you feel very unhip indeed.
When the men and women of Team America jet out of Abraham Lincoln's
mouth or Teddy Roosevelt's head (they HQ at Mount Rushmore) in the name
of "Top Gun" liberty, the rest of the world only suffers: Out to stop a
decidedly Osama-looking terrorist and his swarthy al Qaeda-like hoods in
Paris, the Team unwittingly blows up the Eiffel Tower, which falls over
and crushes the Arc de Triomphe, which leads to an explosive leveling of
the Louvre. Mission almost accomplished (and with one Team member dead),
the heroes declare victory and leave the stereotypical French (a mime, a
boy in a sailor suit, women in sunglasses) agape at the destructive
price of freedom.
A replacement Team member, Gary, is recruited from his current job on
Broadway, singing the lead role in "Lease: The Musical," a sufficiently
mean sendup of the schmaltzy and now outdated "Rent": "Everybody's got
AIDS," Gary sings, while the rest of the cast, dancing on scaffolding,
upbeatly sing, "AIDS, AIDS, AIDS!" and a sold-out marionette audience
bounces in time and gets weepy.
Mr. Spottswoode, the Team's Leslie Nielsen-esque leader, convinces Gary
that his acting skills are needed to infiltrate a band of Islamic
terrorists in Cairo. Gary reluctantly joins (thanks mainly to a parody
of one of those horrible Alan Jackson patriotic ballads: "Freedom isn't
free / There's a hefty [bleepin'] fee").
Back at Mount Rushmore, the Team's victory cocktail party (and a graphic
marionette-on-marionette sex scene that makes you wonder if the MPAA has
just given up on Parker and Stone at this point) is interrupted by yet
another terror attack, this one at the Panama Canal. Asked to explain
this, the Team's surfer-voiced supercomputer, Mr.
I.N.T.E.L.L.I.G.E.N.C.E., can only offer the excuse that he got bad
intelligence.
Turns out the real terrorist mastermind is Kim Jong Il, who gets the
same hilarious treatment that Parker and Stone so presciently bestowed
upon Saddam Hussein in their 1999 movie, "South Park: Bigger, Longer and
Uncut." (And if you're wondering, that movie was much better than this
one.)
The North Korean dictator speaks in the voice of "South Park's" Eric
Cartman, (if you don't know it, ask any 11-year-old to do it for you,
then turn on your TV's V-chip) only with an Engrish accent. "I'm so
ronery," Kim confesses in a pitiful ballad to himself, which explains
his evil-doing -- he just needs to be ruvved. Here, observant "South
Park" fans will begin to suspect that the ingenious song stylings of the
Parker/Stone canon are waning.
Kim has wisely aligned himself with the Hollywood members of the Film
Actors' Guild (FAG), who, in their lefty peacemaking zeal, have
unwittingly and arrogantly become part of his plan for world
destruction. It's up to Team America to save the day -- if only they can
defeat the rabid celebs, including Alec Baldwin, Helen Hunt, Tim Robbins
and an apparently brain-damaged Matt Damon. This is all terrifically
nasty and shocking stuff, and the puppetry and carefully handcrafted
sets are a quaint wonder to behold against the glut of computer-created
landscapes in other movies.
Stunned by all the fun, I am almost moved to salute Parker and Stone for
their nuanced and careful takedown of American jingoism and the
seemingly disastrous foreign policy that Team America stands for.
Only that isn't quite how it played to an audience on Tuesday night, at
one of those free-ticket radio station giveaway previews in a packed
cineplex in Northwest Washington. The biggest laughs came when "Team
America" assaulted any and all concepts of ethnicity, or when the joke
was on gays, Michael Moore or a vast left-wing idiocy.
The movie feels like an elaborate inside joke on the very Americans
laughing hardest at its easiest gags, oblivious to the sly, allegorical
digs at a USA brand of bravado. What I took as a lampoon of Bushworld
seemed to be received, in the seats around me, as a triumph of
Bushworld. Pollsters and campaign workers, take note: "Team America"
will only further confound your election-year data.
Team America: World Police (98 minutes, at area theaters) is rated R for
incredibly naughty language, puppet sex, puppet gore and extreme
violence.

this sounds a lot like a strip that appeared in the british satire comic
"Viz"; it was called "S.W.A.N.T. - Special Weapons and No Tactics".
they'd get a call, head out before they knew where they were supposed to
be going, blow the crap out of a shop or a library or some damned thing,
declare the mission a success and head home. kind of zen in its brevity.

Reminds me of a Monty Poython bit I saw only once (it was an episode made after
John Cleese left)
The USA is after "Mr. Nuetino, the most dangerous man alive!"
You see Mr. N (Graham Chapman in this stupid evil super villion constume, in
scenes of him gardening, having tea & crumpits with his nieghbors, feeding his
cat, etc, all with scense of Michael Palin iin an US Air Force General uniform
with Sousa playing in the back ground as he snifs his armpit for BO, and keeps
asking if they have found Mr. N and have "we bombed naybody yet?"

Hey, Hollywood changes history ALL THE TIME!
What I want to know is why they didn't just back up and offload
everyone onto the iceberg? Better still, why not just bring the ship
alongside and tie it to the iceberg so it wouldn't sink? Now THAT
would be a cool ending!
Incidently, it seems I got worked up over nothing. Team America was a
disappointment. Not a complete let down, but pretty close. Good
puppetry and model building though, but I guess you'd expect that from
a movie with nothing but puppets and models.

Yeah, they should have towed the iceberg into port

The more THESE kinds of people hate it, the more MY kind of person
wants to see it. What the twenty-tentacled fuck did they expect when
it came from the South Park boys? I predict it will be solidly
profitable, even if it is rated R. Heh, it must be fun if they had to
keep chopping the sex scene down to avoid an NC-17. Yes, there's big
bucks in offensiveness! I say drop copies on the Middle East and North
Korea and make them boys heads blow up REAL good.

Uh... Huey? I think that review was meant to be a parody of
self-righteous other reviews - at least that's how I took it.
Here's the tell:
³It is amusing that so many American (and white) audience members get a
kick out of this, given that most students in Asian countries routinely
outpace their European and American counterparts academically and
frequently have a better command of grammar.²
If dragging out that tired old canard about Asian academic excellence
isn't a dead give-away, I don't know what is. Asian students may get
high marks, but they're the most wooden, unimaginative people on the
planet. Ask anyone who works with them or has to teach them. Fuck
sakes, these are people who had gunpowder for centuries and never
figured out how to use it properly. Were talking about a tribe that
thinks powdered rhinoceros horn gets you hard. So what if they know
English grammar? What good is that when they have absolutely nothing
to say? Besides, if they're so fucking brilliant, why aren't WE
learning THEIR language, hmmm?
Fuck that shit. I'd rather live in Arkansas.

CALVINO, ITALO
(b. Oct. 15, 1923, Santiago de las Vegas, Cuba--d. Sept. 19, 1985, Siena,
Italy)
Italian journalist, short-story writer, and novelist, whose whimsical and
imaginative fables made him one of the most important Italian fiction
writers in the 20th century.
Calvino left Cuba for Italy in his youth. He joined the Italian Resistance
during World War II and after the war settled in Turin, obtaining his degree
in literature while working for the Communist periodical L'Unità and for the
publishing house of Einaudi. From 1959 to 1966 he edited, with Elio
Vittorini, the left-wing magazine Il Menabò di letteratura.
Two of Calvino's first fictional works were inspired by his participation in
the Italian Resistance: the Neorealistic novel Il sentiero dei nidi di ragno
(1947; The Path to the Nest of Spiders), which views the Resistance through
the experiences of an adolescent as helpless in the midst of events as the
adults around him; and the collection of stories entitled Ultimo viene il
corvo (1949; Adam, One Afternoon, and Other Stories).
Calvino turned decisively to fantasy and allegory in the 1950s, producing
the three fantastic tales that brought him international acclaim. The first
of these fantasies, Il visconte dimezzato (1952; "The Cloven Viscount," in
The Nonexistent Knight & the Cloven Viscount), is an allegorical story of a
man split in two--a good half and an evil half--by a cannon shot; he becomes
whole through his love for a peasant girl. The second and most highly
praised fantasy, Il barone rampante (1957; The Baron in the Trees), is a
whimsical tale of a 19th-century nobleman who one day decides to climb into
the trees and who never sets foot on the ground again. From the trees he
does, however, participate fully in the affairs of his fellow men below. The
tale wittily explores the interaction and tension between reality and
imagination. The third fantasy, Il cavaliere inesistente (1959; "The
Nonexistent Knight," in The Nonexistent Knight & the Cloven Viscount), is a
mock epic chivalric tale.
Among Calvino's later works of fantasy is Le cosmicomiche (1965;
Cosmicomics), a stream-of-consciousness narrative that treats the creation
and evolution of the universe. In the later novels Le città invisibili
(1972; Invisible Cities), Il castello dei destini incrociati (1973; The
Castle of Crossed Destinies), and Se una notte d'inverno un viaggiatore
(1979; If on a Winter's Night a Traveler), Calvino uses playfully innovative
structures and shifting viewpoints in order to examine the nature of chance,
coincidence, and change. Una pietra sopra: Discorsi di letteratura e società
(1980; The Uses of Literature) is a collection of essays he wrote for Il
Menabò.
